Waiting to fly

And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and sing praises to him, all you peoples." [12]And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him." [13] May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

It's 2am, I'm supposed to be getting up at 3:15 to get ready for my trip. I've had something wake me up every hour since going to bed. The worst was Gary being ill. The "plan" is to go eat, then the airport. We have a truck load of drugs in his work truck to take to the airport, he either has to drive OR we change it all to another truck. Won't Aaron love that?

I'm fixated on why this has been so hard (and strange bathrooms). Seriously, it's not like I think I'm going to change the world, but what I am seeing is even one life, one new soul, one encouraged soul, one person getting a vision of who this Jesus is. That is worth it. And it may be me that is changed the most.

Thank you guys for everything. I am blessed beyond measure with friends and loved ones. If nothing else were to occur, I have already seen God do in me a new work.

Pray for our families, our safety, the bathrooms, and whatever God brings to mind. I need some sleep, hopefully I won't drool or snore on the plane, but they should bring their noise reducing headphones like Dr. Schexnayder loaned me (he really is a nice guy-I'm almost not afraid of him now ). There are a lot of political things going on in Honduras today, especially that the former leader that wanted to be dictator for life is coming in about the time we arrive. There will be rioting!!!! I don't think they want us to do that either. I remember signing the no smoking / no drinking clause, they probably have a "don't do anything else clause" like the "other duties as assigned at every job. Is the lack of sleep showing?????

I don't know whether to stay up or try to sleep. I'm thinking stay up.

The scripture above is my daily reading for today.

Love you,
Breta
